Wolffer Estate Classic Red 2016

The wine is dark red almost black in color. Beautiful cassis aromas with some liquorish, fine sandalwood and ripe fruit fill the glass. The mouth-feel is full and rich with lush ripe fruit, wonderful layers of tannins and fine roasted coffee and dark chocolate notes. This is a beautiful blend with good length and elegant acidity. Extremely food friendly and versatile, with great longevity.

2015 was a fantastic growing season on Long Island, blessed with abundant sunshine, cool nights and the least rainfall on record. This made for healthy, aromatic and concentrated fruit, ideal to make great wines.

Serve at cellar temperature, or slightly cool. Pair this versatile red with flavorful pasta dishes, grilled or braised beef, game or lamb. Or serve it with a wide selection of richer cheeses and dark chocolate.
